00:00My sister Vivian always wants more in bed, but her partner is a snake. He stays cold. My partners are
00:08three wolves. Every night they wear me down to nothing, but none of them wants me. The one they want
00:15is Vivian, so I offered her a swap. My wolves had me all night, then I blacked out, but I
00:23came to before they noticed. Voices drifted in from the living room.
00:28That soft little body, no stamina at all. She really thinks she can keep all three of us? Give it
00:35time. Once she breaks, she'll hand us to her sister. She can barely breathe. A few more nights, she's done.
00:42An hour ago, I had cried in their arms. They called that week. I was done crying. I reached for
00:50my phone and called Vivian.
00:53What's wrong?
00:54You said you were pent up, right? Take all three wolves. Give me your snake.
00:57Wait, really? They're okay with it?
00:59They like you. A lot. She didn't argue. Everyone likes her more. It has always been true.
01:06Fine. My place is bigger anyway, but my snake is cold. He won't touch you.
01:09Good. I'm too wrecked to want more. He can just handle the chores.
01:12I'll come this afternoon.
01:14The door opened the second she hung up. Ace stood there, his eyes heavy and half closed. He reached for
01:21my blanket.
01:22Wait.
01:23Not done resting, Master?
01:25We're done. Vivian takes you this afternoon.
01:28He went still. At the door, Deuce and Trey froze too.
01:32Which two of us?
01:32They thought I was keeping one. All three of you.
01:40Three months ago, none of this had happened.
01:43It started on a cold, rainy night.
01:45Three wolves lay bleeding on the wet concrete.
01:48I almost walked right past them.
01:50Then one weak tail curled around my ankle.
01:54I couldn't leave them there, so I carried all three of them home.
02:00They healed fast under my care.
02:04Then their growth phase hit.
02:07One by one, they shifted into men.
02:20I called the shifter shelter to give them up.
02:23They've imprinted on you.
02:24Abandoning them now would traumatize them.
02:30Three pairs of eyes watched me and waited.
02:32I didn't have the heart, so I kept them.
02:37I named them Ace, Deuce, and Trey, from oldest to youngest.
02:45Back then, they adored me.
02:48They trailed me from room to room.
02:51Their hands were always on me.
03:01Then my sister called with the family's orders.
03:04When are you coming home to marry him?
03:07My family found me a husband for the money.
03:12He was old and ugly.
03:15I refused him.
03:18So they cut off my income.
03:22They would never force Vivian to marry him.
03:25All the pressure fell on me instead.
03:30That guy buried three wives, and he's ugly.
03:34But his family is rich.
03:37Deuce pulled me close and kissed my hair.
03:40You sound upset.
03:42Just hang up on her.
03:45Vivian caught his voice through the phone.
03:47Who was that?
03:48His voice is gorgeous.
03:49Just three strays I took in.
03:51Strays?
03:52I have to see them.
03:54I'm coming tomorrow.
03:58I should have said no.
04:01The next day, she walked through my door.
04:04All three wolves turned to look at her,
04:05and not one of them looked away.
04:07I had seen that look before.
04:09It had never once been aimed at me.
04:15Vivian stepped inside in a white dress.
04:19She drew every eyes in the room.
04:23Surprise!
04:24I just had to meet your strays.
04:54I turned to watch the wolves.
04:55Trey watched her, ears twitching.
04:57Deuce peeled an apple and handed her a slice.
05:00Here.
05:00The sweetest part is yours.
05:03Ace refilled her water before the glass ran low.
05:07You three are so sweet.
05:09They had never once done that for me.
05:12She sat there sweet and oblivious to it all.
05:15That was the moment I knew.
05:17My things were about to become hers once more.
05:20After she left, everything changed.
05:23The soft nights were over.
05:25They took me harder and colder each time.
05:27Some nights I thought they wanted me dead.
05:29I finally understood what they were doing.
05:31One look at Vivian had been enough.
05:33They wanted her, and I was in the way.
05:35So they would wear me down to nothing.
05:37Then I would hand them to my sister.
05:39But I heard them first.
05:40And I had a plan of my own.
05:41Hello.
05:44By afternoon, the apartment had gone dead quiet.
05:48Then someone knocked.
05:49Vivian was here.
05:51Ace leaned on the wall and stared me down.
05:55You're really handing all three of us to her?
05:59I nodded.
06:01You won't even keep one of us?
06:04Which one of you wants to stay with me?
06:06The room went still.
06:08No one said a word.
06:09That was my answer.
06:11Trey rolled his eyes and went to the door.
06:13Drop the wounded act, all of you.
06:16He opened it.
06:20Vivian beamed at them.
06:22Hi, boys.
06:24My sister told you, right?
06:25You're all mine now.
06:27Trey leaned right into her.
06:29Hello, my new master.
06:32Don't pack a thing.
06:33I'll buy you everything at the mansion.
06:36Ace gave a lazy hum.
06:38Deuce glanced at her, then at me.
06:41I kept my face blank.
06:43Relax.
06:44I'll treat them better than you ever could.
06:46Vivian came over and patted my arm.
06:48Have your fun, then come home and marry him.
06:50Marry?
06:51What marriage?
06:51Vivian didn't explain.
06:53She smiled at me, soft and pitiful.
06:55Why not keep one?
06:56She looks so sad.
06:58Not one of them moved toward me.
06:59Between us, I am never the one chosen.
07:01We both made peace with that long ago.
07:03Then I lifted my chin.
07:04Where is he?
07:05Vivian paused, then called toward the hall.
07:08Come inside.
07:10Heavy footsteps crossed the floor.
07:12A tall man stepped into the light.
07:14He stood tall, his expression cold.
07:16Then his dark eyes locked onto mine.
07:19I held his cold stare and made myself speak.
07:23Hello?
07:25He looked down at me without a word.
07:27His gaze was heavy, dark, and reptile cold.
07:30He did not answer me at all.
07:33Goosebumps spread down both my arms.
07:35That's just how he is.
07:36Can't stand him, I'll take him back.
07:38Wait, who is this guy?
07:41The driver is waiting downstairs.
07:43Let's go.
07:44She didn't explain, and I couldn't either.
07:47The three wolves went quiet and followed her out.
07:50Just like that, they were gone.
07:53The snake stayed behind without a word.
07:55I reached out to close the door.
07:58Deuce turned and looked back at me.
08:00His eyes gave nothing away.
08:02Then the man beside me changed.
08:03His dark pupils narrowed into cold slits.
08:06A slick tail shot around my waist.
08:08A strange, heavy scent burst through the room.
08:11It filled my lungs and made me dizzy.
08:13I shoved at his chest, but he didn't move.
08:15You-
08:15You're going into rut!
08:17He tugged at his collar, breathing hard.
08:19So hot.
08:20He pulled his shirt open at the throat.
08:21Hold on.
08:22Let me get you a suppressor.
08:23He caught my wrist before I could turn.
08:25Don't go.
08:25He pressed my palm flat against his bare chest.
08:28His skin was hot, and his heart pounded under it.
08:30This helps.
08:31Stay like this.
08:32Heat rushed straight to my face.
08:34Then, what do you want me to do?
08:36He pinned me back against the door.
08:38His tail caught me, so it didn't hurt.
08:41Hot breath spilled across the back of my neck.
08:43I could not break free of his hold.
08:47Then a fist pounded on the door.
08:49Cora?
08:50What's wrong in there?
08:52I didn't open the door.
08:54Instead, I reached up and touched his cold cheek.
08:58Does it hurt?
08:59Let me get you a suppressor.
09:01The heavy pressure around us eased at once.
09:03The thick scent stopped swelling in the air.
09:06More knocks landed on the door.
09:09You two okay in there?
09:10I thought I had calmed him down.
09:12I let out a slow breath of relief.
09:15Then something cold touched my neck.
09:17He bit down, firm but strangely gentle.
09:21I swallowed a sound and steadied my voice.
09:23It's nothing.
09:24You can all go.
09:26Really now?
09:28Mm-hmm.
09:29She said she's fine.
09:30Did that snake hurt you, Cora?
09:33No.
09:34His mouth brushed against my ear.
09:36So obedient.
09:37Do you want them to hear you?
09:39I dug my nails into his arm in warning.
09:42I bit my lip hard.
09:44He licked slowly over the spot he had bitten.
09:47Thank God the door had shut in time.
09:50The scent never leaked into the hall.
09:52Footsteps drifted away down the corridor.
09:54And then the wolves were truly gone.
09:57I shoved the snake off my body.
10:00I dug out a suppressus with shaking hands.
10:03These were the shots I gave the wolves in rut.
10:06I still had plenty left.
10:08I tossed the cessaris to him.
10:14Then I went and splashed water on my face.
10:16When I turned back, his eyes were calm again.
10:19The cold, distant snake was back in place.
10:21Nothing about him said he had just touched me.
10:24Aren't you supposed to be platonic?
10:28His tail was gone now.
10:29His face cold and still.
10:31That was normal.
10:33My last suppressor wore off a long time ago.
10:37Oh.
10:40Something there didn't add up.
10:42If Vivian truly wanted him,
10:44she'd never give him suppresses.
10:46And he obviously couldn't hold it back on his own.
10:48So how had he coped before?
10:50He didn't offer, so I didn't ask.
10:53I poured him a glass of warm water.
10:55Just rest today.
10:57You can do chores tomorrow.
10:58If you're not recovered,
11:00take a few more.
11:01Did you treat them the same way?
11:03I froze.
11:09I stayed quiet.
11:10Then I nodded.
11:12A long silence stretched between us.
11:17My name is Silas.
11:18His voice was low and calm.
11:21I caught on and smiled at him.
11:23Nice to meet you.
11:23I'm Cora.
11:24He stood and walked toward the balcony.
11:27My stomach dropped.
11:29Your room isn't there.
11:30Wait, are you going to jump?
11:32I rushed after him.
11:35He bent down and opened my washing machine.
11:38One by one, he lifted out my clean clothes.
11:40He was hanging my laundry to dry.
11:43Deuce had loaded the machine that morning.
11:44Then he had walked off and left it.
11:47I watched the cold snake handle my clothes.
11:49I'll buy a dryer soon.
11:51Then you won't have to.
11:53Silas said nothing.
11:54Everyone says wolves are the loyal ones.
11:57This cold snake felt more loyal than any of them.
12:03The next day, an unwanted guest knocked on my door.
12:08My family's butler stood at the door, stiff and polite.
12:11Miss, your father says the games are over.
12:14Come home and marry.
12:15His tone left no room to argue.
12:17No.
12:18Miss, this comes straight from your parents.
12:22Then several bodyguards stepped in behind him.
12:25I gave him a cold smile.
12:29Aren't you afraid I'll stab the groom at the altar?
12:32Then turn the knife on myself?
12:34The butler's face went tight.
12:36They knew I was not bluffing.
12:40Your father says marry him,
12:42and you get 5% of the family company.
12:45My hand froze on the door.
12:485% of the company was real power.
12:52They had cut off my money for months.
12:54This was the first thing they ever offered me.
12:57My marriage was worth a fortune to them.
12:59The butler clearly saw I was tempted.
13:02The car is downstairs.
13:03Your sister wants Mr. Silas brought back, too.
13:07I glanced over my shoulder at Silas.
13:09Our eyes met across the room.
13:12His black eyes still showed nothing.
13:14But his calm felt wrong somehow.
13:17Why did Vivian suddenly want him back?
13:21The mansion's ground floor was huge and empty.
13:23Only the three wolves were there.
13:25The air turned stiff the moment I walked in.
13:27Trey set down his game and looked us over.
13:29Why are you even here?
13:31This is my home, too.
13:33Can't I come back?
13:34My jab didn't faze him.
13:35If anything, his mouth curved a little more.
13:37Deuce set down the fruit he was plating.
13:40He walked over and tipped up my chin.
13:42Vivian said you refused to come home.
13:45Now here you are.
13:47Did you miss us?
13:48I stepped back and opened my mouth.
13:50Trey cut in with a cold laugh.
13:51Obviously.
13:52She can't last a day without us.
13:54She doesn't look heartbroken to me.
13:57Ace's eyes snapped up.
13:59And who do you think you are?
14:00A vicious edge filled the room.
14:02I grabbed Simus's cold hand to settle him.
14:05Wolves and snakes both fight to kill.
14:07If they clashed here, no one would walk away clean.
14:09Are you using him to make us jealous?
14:12Snakes feel nothing.
14:13This one least of all.
14:14You really think you can win him over?
14:17Then Deuce caught my chin in a hard grip.
14:19He stared at the mark on my neck.
14:21What is this?
14:23A hickey?
14:24That word put everyone on edge.
14:26Trey pushed up and stawed toward us.
14:28Huh?
14:29What did you just say?
14:30Then a cold hand yanked me back.
14:33Silas gave a thin, cold smile.
14:35Back off.
14:37What did you say to me?
14:41Then, Vivian came down the stairs, all smiles.
14:46I heard you all from upstairs.
14:48What's going on?
14:50I knew my sister.
14:52Inside out.
14:55She could never stand me having what she wanted.
14:57So I stayed calm and laid it right out.
15:00They think the mark on my neck is a hickey.
15:03They're not happy about it.
15:05Right on Cuse.
15:06Her smile frozen.
15:08Her eyes dropped to my throat.
15:10Her gaze flicked between me and Silas.
15:12So, is it true?
15:14What do you think?
15:15She had no answer for that.
15:17The whole room went silent.
15:19Vivian's smile never came back.
15:21Ace strolled over, one hand in his pocket.
15:23You always hide these marks.
15:25Why show one off today?
15:27Maybe because I never called it a hickey.
15:30To me, it was a bite, not a kiss.
15:33He's right.
15:34You used to cover up completely.
15:36His questions seemed to wake the others up.
15:39Deuce narrowed his eyes at me.
15:42Father wants you in the study.
15:45Silas can stay down here with us.
15:47I slipped my hand out of his.
15:51Then I stopped and turned around.
15:57Don't any of you dare touch him.
16:00Us?
16:01Touch him?
16:02Cora, do you really-
16:03I walked off before he could finish.
16:07For once, the wolves had nothing to say.
16:11My father waited in that study to corner me.
16:14He had no idea I was the one setting the trap.
16:20My father sat back and sipped his tea.
16:23Marry him on paper first.
16:25The wedding can wait.
16:27Once it's done, I'll transfer 5% to you.
16:30I didn't hesitate for a second.
16:33I want the shares the day we make it official.
16:35His cup hit the table hard.
16:37You don't even trust your own family?
16:40I sighed and kept my voice sweet.
16:43I'm afraid Vivian finds out and throws a fit.
16:46Then what's mine becomes hers again.
16:49That struck a nerve with my father.
16:51His face stayed sour for a long moment.
16:54Then, at last, he gave in.
16:58Fine.
16:59Come back married with your husband and I will keep my word.
17:04So that was how much my marriage was worth to them.
17:08They had cut me off and now they needed me.
17:10And the shares were not really for me.
17:12Any gift after the metting would be half his.
17:16He was buying off the groom through me.
17:19I hummed, said nothing, and stood to leave.
17:22Then his voice cut across the room.
17:24Stay home now.
17:25No more running off.
17:26And cut those beasts out of your life before the wedding.
17:29I gave him a small nod and walked out.
17:32Cutting them off was the last thing I'd do.
17:36Downstairs, the silence still hung in the air.
17:39I walked straight up to Simus.
17:43Come on.
17:44Let me show you my room.
17:45I also had something to tell him.
17:50You've been gone for months.
17:52What's in there to see?
17:55Why?
17:56Do you want to come look too?
17:59Who said that?
18:01He scoffed and turned his face away.
18:03Vivian was eating fruit at the table.
18:07Father is still home.
18:08She slid a quiet glance at Silas.
18:11This isn't appropriate.
18:13You have three beast men at your side.
18:15I'm only taking one to my room.
18:17What's wrong with that?
18:18She has a point.
18:20If Silas agrees, that is...
18:22Vivian's smile thinned.
18:26Every eye turned to the man who never reacted.
18:32Let's go.
18:33I let him up and shut my door.
18:36My room was plain and white and clean.
18:43I cleared my throat to speak.
18:45Then the air shifted around me.
18:48His tail coiled around my waist again.
18:52Your scent is so strong in here.
18:56I haven't lived here in months.
18:58How?
18:59His teeth grazed my collarbone, slow and sharp.
19:02You took a suppressive yesterday.
19:04Something is wrong.
19:05Then I made myself say it.
19:08I brought you up here to tell you I'm getting married.
19:12He didn't loosen his hold at all.
19:14His tail flipped me back onto the bed.
19:17He leaned over me, his eyes strange and dark.
19:20Do you hate me?
19:22What?
19:22No, I don't...
19:23Aren't you my master or are you afraid?
19:25The truth was, part of me really was afraid.
19:28He took my hand and pressed it to his chest.
19:30His heart was hammering under my palm.
19:32You get this close and this is what you do to me.
19:35I had no answer for that.
19:37But I really am marrying him.
19:39I may give you back to Vivian.
19:41Something vicious flashed across his face.
19:45Then, slowly, he smiled down at me.
19:48Does being near me make you suffer?
19:51No.
19:52You're actually great at chores.
19:57He bent lower until his shadow covered me.
20:03Then you will never get rid of me.
20:08Days later, I met Roland in a quiet cafe bounce.
20:12He was the husband my family had chosen for me.
20:14I took a slow sip of my coffee.
20:18I know you're in love with Vivian.
20:20He looked up, startled, and set down his phone.
20:23You kept proposing to my family.
20:25Set on marrying Vivian, they brushed you off,
20:27saying the eldest must marry first.
20:29Anyone would prefer Vivian over you.
20:31He paused.
20:33Then gave a cold little smile.
20:35She likes me too.
20:36She just won't fight you for me.
20:37She thinks you want me more than she does.
20:39I smiled back at him.
20:40Is that so?
20:41I can get you what you want.
20:43And how would you do that?
20:45We fake a marriage.
20:46You come home with me.
20:48If she really likes you, she'll get jealous, won't she?
20:53What are you saying?
20:54People only want what they think they've lost.
20:57Get close to me.
20:59Let her watch.
21:00It will break her.
21:01I leaned in and laid out the rest.
21:03At the wedding, I vanish.
21:06The bride never shows.
21:08She won't let you stand there humiliated.
21:10She'll take my place.
21:12Tell her you always loved her.
21:14Give her a ring.
21:15His eyes flickered.
21:16His face slowly relaxed.
21:20Yeah.
21:21You actually make a lot of sense.
21:23I dabbed at tears that were not there.
21:26He stood and offered his hand, almost respectful.
21:30I'd never be happy with you anyway.
21:32You two belong together.
21:34Miss Hayes, I had you all wrong.
21:37You're kind.
21:38As long as you two are happy.
21:42I took his hand.
21:43He looked moved and grateful.
21:47He really believed I was doing this for him.
21:52That day, I walked in with my fiancé at my side.
21:56The whole family sat waiting at the dinner table.
22:01Word that I would marry Roland had spread everywhere.
22:04I shot Salas a calming look.
22:07His face stayed blank.
22:09But I could feel the fury he was holding back.
22:11It was fine.
22:13I was not done with him yet.
22:15I gave him a small, steady smile.
22:17He held my eyes, then looked away.
22:20In the kitchen, Deuce washed his hands beside me.
22:23You don't like him.
22:26Who?
22:29Your fiancé.
22:31Cora, just beg me.
22:34I'll get you out of this wedding.
22:35I glanced at him.
22:37Don't worry.
22:38The other two are in on it.
22:40So that was why all three looked so tense today.
22:43They actually thought to nothing.
22:45Thought they were saving me.
22:47You don't want to spend your life with a man you hate.
22:52Don't waste your worry on me.
22:55I turned to walk away.
22:58You're going to regret this, Cora!
23:05Would I regret it?
23:09I almost laughed out loud.
23:13After dinner, Vivian chatted happily with my fiancé.
23:31I slipped into the study and signed for my shares.
23:38The grand wedding was one week away.
23:44For days, I picked out jewelry without a care.
23:48The whole mansion stayed cold and tense.
23:50Even Vivian came over to niddle me.
23:53I can't believe 5% of the company made you fold.
23:56I didn't react at all.
23:58That seemed to make her angrier.
24:01Do you know how much I'll inherit?
24:03When father dies, all of it is mine.
24:06Her smile turned sweet and cruel.
24:09I turned and looked at her then.
24:11Jealous?
24:12What a devoted daughter, I thought.
24:14Father was still alive, and she was already counting his fortune.
24:18Trey looked at me with a flat face.
24:20You're really throwing yourself away.
24:22Deuce nodded along.
24:24Ash scrolled his phone and said nothing.
24:26Was I throwing myself away?
24:28I almost smiled.
24:31I didn't care what the wolves thought.
24:33I watched Silas instead.
24:35He stood quietly at the edge of the room.
24:37Strangely, he looked less cold than usual.
24:41He lifted his eyes and met mine.
24:45For the first time, I really looked at his eyes.
24:48They were a deep, polished black.
24:51The shape was narrow.
24:52The outer corners tipped it up.
24:54His lashes were long.
24:55His stare carried a sleepy, careless weight.
24:58Without the menace, they were almost too beautiful.
25:01For a second, I forgot to look away.
25:03I had never noticed any of this before.
25:08The wedding day came.
25:10Lavish and over the top.
25:1430,000 white roses poured from the ceiling.
25:18I took one look.
25:20Then they pushed me backstage.
25:22For three hours, the guests kept arriving.
25:26My parents checked on me again and again.
25:30They wanted to be sure I was behaving.
25:32I stared at my flawless makeup in the mirror.
25:35Then the ceremony began.
25:37My assistant, Maya, had helped me plan this.
25:39While the room emptied, I gathered my heavy skirt.
25:43I walked out, calm and unhurrying.
25:45Cora, the restroom is just up front.
25:48So none of the staff thought twice.
25:50Inside, I changed into plain clothes and sneakers.
25:53Then I climbed out the ground floor window.
25:56A black car was waiting below.
25:58I dropped down and landed clean.
26:01In the back seat, I called Silas.
26:04It rang twice.
26:06No one answered.
26:07Let's go, please.
26:08The car pulled away, toward the airport.
26:11I opened my phone and tapped into the live stream.
26:15The host's voice rang out, bright and proud.
26:19Please welcome our bride and groom!
26:23Both grand doors swung open at once.
26:26On the right, the bride's spot stood empty.
26:28I burst out laughing in the back seat.
26:30Then I caught a dark figure on the left.
26:31A second later, the groom's spot was empty too.
26:34The whole hall broke into chaos.
26:36Roland rushed in late, fixing his crooked suit.
26:38He grabbed the microphone and faced the crowd.
26:44The bride was never Cora.
26:46It was always Vivian!
26:55Just then, my phone buzzed.
26:57Simus was calling.
26:59I picked up.
27:00His voice came low and rough.
27:03Where are you?
27:05On the way to the airport, you?
27:07A news alert flashed across my screen.
27:10The true heir of the groom's family was not Roland.
27:13The real heir was a shifter, not a pure human.
27:16I tapped it.
27:17A tall, lean figure filled the photo.
27:20Bet that's a snake shifter.
27:22Cold and ruthless.
27:23Perfect to run an empire.
27:25Something clicked in my head.
27:27Silas, you weren't just trying to...
27:30Had he come to crash the wedding and steal me?
27:32I held the rest of it back.
27:34I'm going abroad to lie low for a while.
27:37I hung up and watched the screen again.
27:39By now, the whole hall had fallen apart.
27:42Vivian was sobbing, hiding behind our father.
27:44Where is Cora?
27:45Find her right now!
27:46Roland turned on Vivian, furious.
27:49You said you liked me.
27:50Why won't you take her place?
27:52What is even happening here?
27:54Roland's mother tried to smooth it over.
27:56Let Vivian marry him.
27:58Both families still win.
28:00Thank God I had blocked them all in advance.
28:02Vivian bit her lip and screamed.
28:05I won't!
28:06So you were lying?
28:08You never liked me?
28:09No, you buried three wives.
28:11Why would I?
28:12The whole place fell into total chaos.
28:15I watched it all, perfectly content.
28:20Then I spotted the wolves in a corner, faces tight.
28:26At the airport, Roland called me first.
28:31Come back.
28:32You have to marry me.
28:34I couldn't help it.
28:35I laughed out loud.
28:36What is that supposed to mean?
28:38What makes you think I'd marry you?
28:41I blocked his number two.
28:43His stupidity and nerve still surprised me.
28:46At the gate, I waited a while.
28:49Then a shadow fell over me.
28:52You came.
28:53I looked up.
28:55It was Ace.
28:56What's with that face?
28:58Disappointed?
28:59Who did you think was coming for you?
29:01Silas.
29:03You really have bad taste.
29:05He isn't coming.
29:06I just nodded, perfectly calm.
29:09He sat down beside me.
29:11I never thought you'd run from your own wedding.
29:14Leave me alone.
29:16He stopped, grinding his teeth.
29:19Where are you even going?
29:21None of your business.
29:24Then I stood and stared him down.
29:26Where are Deuce and Trey?
29:29Suddenly you care about them.
29:31Did the two of them try to fill us?
29:33This is face changed in an instant.
29:36A second late, I saw him.
29:38Silas walked toward me, dried blood on his brow.
29:41There was a wound on his neck.
29:43The air around him was thick with menace.
29:47He reached my side, and I smelled blood on him.
29:53Are you... are you hurt?
29:57Ace bared his teeth at the blood on him.
30:00What did you do to them?
30:02Silas rested his chin on my shoulder.
30:05His arm looped loosely around my waist.
30:08It was a cold, quiet hold.
30:11I'm talking to you!
30:13He tried to pull Silas off me.
30:16Silas smiled, cold and unbothered.
30:19They tried to stop me.
30:20So I made sure they couldn't.
30:23I went still.
30:25Deuce and Trey were Ace's brothers.
30:27He had hurt them both just to reach me.
30:30Ace swallowed hard and asked again,
30:32Where are they?
30:34No idea.
30:36But they won't last much longer.
30:38It horrified me how calm he sounded.
30:41But Ace didn't run to find them.
30:43He just stared at the two of us.
30:45You're really leaving together?
30:48Isn't it obvious?
30:50Why does he get to go with you?
30:53Vivian gave him to me.
30:55I'm his master now.
30:58But you're still mine.
31:00You all belong to Vivian.
31:02Isn't that right?
31:03You handed me to her yourself.
31:05Something close to hurt darkened his eyes.
31:08I almost laughed.
31:09I heard every word you said that night.
31:12You wanted Vivian.
31:13So I let you have her.
31:15You heard us?
31:17His voice cracked on the last word.
31:20I had nothing left to say to him.
31:22I took Silas by the hand and walked away.
31:25Ace moved to follow.
31:27The security I had called blocked his path.
31:31On the plane,
31:33Simus settled into the seat beside me.
31:35He lowered his eyes.
31:37For once,
31:38he looked almost calm beside me.
31:42So you really want to take that groom's place and marry me?
31:46He answered without a flicker of doubt.
31:49I had expected him to hesitate.
31:51He did not.
31:52Anyone else would have run.
31:54He chose me.
31:56He caught on fastly.
31:58The second he saw I was gone,
31:59he slipped out.
32:00Your scent is very faint.
32:03That was the frightening thing about shifters.
32:05Their sense of smell missed nothing at all.
32:08He had tracked me down with almost nothing to go on.
32:11He had torn through two wolves to reach me.
32:14It should have scared me.
32:15It didn't.
32:17I'll stay abroad for a while.
32:19I'll come back when the time is right.
32:21Simus leaned in,
32:22his cool breath against my neck.
32:24His lips pressed softly to the side of my neck.
32:26This time,
32:27he did not bite.
32:28His hold on me was almost careful.
32:31Okay.
32:31Then he closed his eyes and leaned into me.
32:34His head settled into the curve of my neck.
32:37I went still and did not dare move.
32:40Let me stay like this a while.
32:42His breathing slowed against my throat.
32:46I told myself he had only fallen asleep.
32:49The cold of him felt almost gentle now.
32:52I had no idea what to do with that.
32:55Wolves are supposed to be the loyal ones.
32:57Yet this cold snake stayed closer than they ever had.
33:01Maybe I had been wrong about who was cold.
33:05Time passed and the family fell apart back home.
33:08I switched to a foreign number and the harassment stopped.
33:11Vivian never married Roland in the end.
33:13Our two families turned into bitter enemies.
33:16When I finally came home,
33:17my parents had aged.
33:18Father spent most of his days in a sickbed.
33:21They wouldn't hand the company to distant relatives.
33:23So they handed it all to Vivian.
33:25Under her,
33:26the business only got worse.
33:28Then I walked in,
33:29calm and unhurried.
33:30My mother's hand flew up to slap me.
33:32I stepped back and smiled.
33:34You really want to hit me?
33:35Only I can save you now.
33:37Her hand froze in the air.
33:39Then I looked at Vivian.
33:41She was no longer the girl who once dazzled every room.
33:44Stress had worn her down to almost nothing.
33:47I had spent years quietly watching her.
33:50Bit by bit,
33:52I had worked out why she hated me.
33:55Since we were small,
33:57people always crowded around me.
33:59What if then men aren't they being enough yet re-taxed me?
34:01Evening at Stanley Barber?
34:03I was kind to all of them,
34:05never just to her.
34:09Vivian only ever wanted to be my favorite.
34:13But I gave the same warmth to everyone I met.
34:16To her,
34:17that meant she was special to no one.
34:20Every cool thing she did was a way to reach me.
34:23She just wanted me,
34:25for once,
34:26to care about her most.
34:29I gave her a small smile.
34:32It's been a long time, Vivian.
34:35She tore her eyes away and started to cry.
34:41I took Vivian's place at the company.
34:44In truth,
34:45I ran it far better than she ever had.
34:48The group slowly climbed back to its feet.
34:51As it recovered,
34:52my father's health improved too.
34:55In the top floor office,
34:57Silomus wound my hair through his cold fingers.
35:01He's old,
35:02so the sickness makes sense.
35:05But a sudden recovery often comes right before the end.
35:09Silomus gave his faint smile.
35:13Okay.
35:15Soon my father fell ill again.
35:18In his state,
35:19he could not run the company.
35:21So I went to his bedside.
35:25Sign all your remaining shares over to me.
35:29The frable old man raged,
35:32then broke into coughing.
35:33You don't want the family legacy destroyed by Vivian.
35:37He glared at me,
35:38furious and helpless.
35:41Let go now,
35:42and I might steal Vivian something.
35:45You saw what your pampered princess became without me.
35:49I leaned a little closer and softened my voice.
35:51Father,
35:52I'm your daughter too.
35:53Your blood runs in me.
35:56Handing it to me is the only sensible choice.
35:59He stared at me for a long moment.
36:02Pain flickered in his eyes.
36:04Then he sank back.
36:06He had no fight left in him.
36:09I smiled,
36:10finally satisfied.
36:12The whole thing was mine now.
36:16These days,
36:17Silas worked beside me in the office.
36:19When I ignored him too long,
36:21his cold tail crept around my waist.
36:23Why was he always this clingy?
36:25I sighed and pat the smooth coils.
36:27Stay in your human form, please.
36:29The beast shape wears me out.
36:31He pressed his lips to the back of my neck.
36:35Okay.
36:37I never asked who he really was.
36:40His real name and rank meant nothing to me.
36:43I only needed him here beside me.
36:46One afternoon,
36:48Maya buzzed me.
36:50Boss,
36:51someone downstairs is asking to see you.
36:53It's three men.
36:54They say they're Ace,
36:55Deuce,
36:55and Trey.
36:57Put them on the phone.
36:58Cora?
36:59So you're back in the country?
37:01I am.
37:03Let's meet up.
37:04Just once.
37:05No time.
37:06No interest.
37:11Scared your snake will get jacked?
37:12Are you jealous?
37:14His jealousy was not the reason at all.
37:16His feelings don't worry me.
37:18I just don't want to see you.
37:20I'm not your master anymore.
37:22You are!
37:23We never treated Vivian as our master.
37:25If you'd asked,
37:26we'd have helped you run.
37:29Maybe in your eyes,
37:30I'm still your master.
37:31But in mine,
37:32you stopped deserving that long ago.
37:35I hung up the phone.
37:38Don't let those three in.
37:39Throw them out if they come back.
37:41Understood.
37:42You have a meeting soon, by the way.
37:43I sent Silmus a little head pap sticker.
37:46Then I added a quick message.
37:48Might be home late.
37:49Be good and wait for me.
37:52Then I stood,
37:53smoothed my sleeve,
37:54and walked out.
38:00It was past midnight
38:01when I finally got home.
38:03Silmus was waiting by the door,
38:05exactly as told.
38:07He had not moved from that spot in hours.
38:10Were you good while I was gone?
38:13I was.
38:15He took my coat and my bag
38:16without a word.
38:18For weeks,
38:18he had stayed on the suppressive for me.
38:20He never let his rut touch me again.
38:23He was waiting for something,
38:25and I knew it.
38:27I reached up
38:28and touched the cold line of his jaw.
38:30You never finished the bond, did you?
38:34His eyes lifted to mine.
38:36I was waiting for you to allow it.
38:39So he had held back this whole time,
38:42One bite would seal the bond for good.
38:45He would not take it without my word.
38:48Then you have my word.
38:49Do it.
38:51He caught my hand and pressed it to his lips.
38:54Say I get to keep you.
38:55Just once.
38:57You get to keep me.
38:59Now stop stalling.
39:00His cold eyes warmed for a moment.
39:03He went still for one long breath.
39:06Then his cool mouth found the side of my neck.
39:08This time,
39:10He did not stop.
39:12It stung,
39:13Then settled into something warm.
39:15The bond sank in deep and held.
39:19Mine now.
39:20No one takes you from me.
39:22It was the longest thing he had ever said.
39:25I don't care who you really are.
39:28I only ever wanted the cold one who stayed.
39:31He held me tighter.
39:32And for once,
39:33He smiled first.
39:35I had fled one wedding to end up in his arms.
39:39I would not trade this for anything in the world.
39:42He was a monster.
39:43And he was completely mine.
39:45I don't care who you are.
39:46He gave me when you're missing all things.
39:46He said to me.
39:46He said to me.
39:46This time he came to me.
39:46He said to me.
39:46He said he knew him.
39:46He said to him.
39:47You're OK.
39:47He said to me.
